I say that because I don't see stuff like this anywhere except for when I dream at night. The problem is all of the technology underpinning it and although they might gloss over it I have learned that the standards are not yet in place to make companies like these obsolete. It sounds abhorrent, that's not the idea, but to mak my home work I would like to hot swap devices and not have to pay hundreds to fit everything. Plus my MacBook screen should be the screen I need, or maybe the one that comes with the fridge (LG). One thing I thought of was that as the weather system will relay the real conditions, more accurately than a weather station 5miles away of so, a huge network of these systems could then charge for this information to be given to a network company to build a more accurate picture - much like electricity being sent back to the grid from homes that produce their own. So not only using heat from a system that generates it, but selling the data and extra electricity back to national suppliers. A real two way process. - Samuel Lago Thu, 09 Oct 2008 01:08:49 +0100
